Subject: SNIPPET: Cucumber Water Benefits & Recipes
Happy Saturday!
Botanical Name: Cucumis sativus Cucumber in Spanish: Pepino
The first time we had cucumber water was when we checked into a hotel for our first trip to Oregon. There was a lovely large urn at the front desk with cucumber and lemon floating in it.
We were tired and thirsty after a long trip in dry airplane climates from the east coast to the west coast and the cucumber water was welcome and refreshing.
Now whenever the garden is flourishing in cucumber, we make cucumber water at home. We don’t make it off season because organic cucumbers are too expensive. But when we have an abundant harvest, it’s a delightfully refreshing health tonic to sip on throughout the day.
